Effective use of resources, energy efficiency, health and safety in the workforce and green gas emissions are important considerations for sustainability of the aluminium industry. Technological advances help to improve productivity, reduce costs, save resources, lower air pollution and reduce injury risk in the workforce and thus determine sustainability of the industry. This paper argues that cooperative research and development brings technological advances and improves sustainable performance in the industry. An analysis of 224 respondents from 22 firms in the Chinese aluminium industry identifies a significant correlation between cooperative research and development and sustainability in the sector. These results have implications for government, industry and managers.

Hot air drying is the conventional drying method, and it transfers heat from the drying medium to the material based on the heat conduction effect, then this results in two diffusion after the material absorbs heat: the external diffusion ( the moisture from the material surface to the drying medium ) and the internal diffusion ( the moisture from material interior to the material surface ), and the two diffusion goes on working until the moisture of material drops to a certain degree to achieve the drying...

Experiment shows that hot-air drying at the temperature of 60℃ is the best drying method for quality vegetable powder production, and the finshed vegetable powders with diameter≤0.125μm have good stability and reconstituability.
Vegetable processing mainly includes pickled canning, drying, freezing, juicing and so on, but these processed products have a limited application area. As people’s life quality increases and their diet structure changes, vegetable powder, one of the vegetable processing...

The UK’s new High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC) has been designed to provide the UK with world-leading R&D capabilities in investment casting – and to tackle the dust extraction and fume extraction challenges these processes involve, both today and in the future, Western Air Ducts has designed and installed a complete, intelligent LEV system.The showcase £60m facility, part of the Manufacturing Technology Centre campus at Coventry’s Ansty Business Park, is the result of a joint...

A recent study conducted byresearchers at the State Key Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences China, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) were successful in using stem cells to determine the amount of BPA that causedphysiological toxic effects. The group of researchers are hoping that this method will be able to determine exposure to all different types of environmental pollutants.

Environmental sensors are devices that detect the changes that take place in the environment such as change in humidity and temperature. Rapid population growth, industrialization, and agricultural activities have led to the deterioration of air, soil, and water quality levels over the decades, thereby affecting the biological life and ecosystem. Environmental sensing and monitoring technologies are used in various fields such as in forest fire detection, air pollution monitoring, greenhouse monitoring, and...
